Then she put on her hat and went down

stitching on the back. really heed
them, and I've saved IS by going without

sary of a SKINNED milk diet Mr. Herbst
is a large, finely formed man Of about
fifty years Of age, and weighs about two
hundred pounds Three years ago he was
afflicted with dyspepsia and kidney
troubles and was advised by his physician
To try diet Of skinned milk exclusively.
He tried the remedy for a couple Of
months and was so benefited by the diet
that he determined to try il for q year.
At the expiration Of the latter period Mr..
Herbst's health was almost perfect Far
from becoming thin OF enlaciated from the
long continued use of SKINNED milk, his
form was, if possible, even more rotund
than before, and by the advice Of his
doctor he decided to adopt skinned milk
as his exclusive diet permanently. For
three years he has eaten or drank abso-

even water-and declared to his friends
who visited him yesterday that he pro-

southwest of comforting such titles as

time employed in building II suspension

A physician who has studied the small
economies Of life tells how the jellies
which some bakers put into their tarts
and jelly cakes are made. No wonder
grocers can sell them SO cheaply The
directions are As follows: Take four quarts
of water and half a pound Of alum; boil
two minutes; add thirty-two pounds Of
white sugar; boil five minutes longer;
strain while it is warm land the hotter it
is the easier, through acoarse towel; when
nearly cold, add two ounces Of acetic acid
and onehalf a pound Of real currant jelly
When cool, pack it in tumblers and label
with a picture Of . curraRt bush and =
child picking currants. II you desire =
vanilla jelly, add in place Of the currant
jam four twenty five cent bottles Of the
extract Of vanilla, and stir in when nearly
cold II you desire strawberry Jam, pre-
pare the alum and sugar as before, and
add half pint Of the essence Of straw
berry; or, If lemon is desired, add essence
Of lemon. You can make what you like
with these proportions of alum and water
This is the way to make the srocers' jelly
and the jam that is placed on tarts in the
confectioneries and the bakeries. Boston
